Elvis sent shock waves through a repressed nation in 1956 with his soulful singing, wild hip gyrations and raw energy, attracting a record-breaking TV audience of more than 60 million people! Making television history, Presley headlined on the Ed Sullivan show two more times in the next few months, continuing to provoke ecstatic screams in the studio and keeping the country glued to their sets at home. Elvis s stage presence was considered so provocative that he was only filmed from the waist up for his third appearance.Now for the first time, these legendary performances are collected onto one disc and clearly show why Elvis is the King of Rock and Roll.Hit songs include:Don t Be Cruel, Love Me Tender, Hound Dog, Heartbreak Hotel, Too Much, When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again, Peace in the Valley
Terrific video of a very young, vulnerable Elvis in his first year of real fame. It was shot in the mid 1950's, in black and white, but even as old as these films were, I was shocked at how talented he was and hypnotic to watch. He simply stepped out on a stage, no frills, no special effects, and started singing with that deep, snake-charming voice, that he never lost from the beginning to the end of his life.I was stunned by how dangerously beautiful and raw he was back then. Yet he was sweetly gawky and didn't know what to do with his hands. Those smoldering good looks of his made up for any lack of stage experience. He twitched a little, threw the crowd that shy, crooked smile and the women went wild.With a few wardrobe tweaks, the Elvis in these films could walk out on any global stage today, 2017 and knock 'em dead! This is a real keepsake for any Elvis fan....a little bittersweet, such a long view into the distant past....but well worth having.
